more overplayed then payload?

personally i like Hydro, though no one else does. Sure its hard to really win, but it has alot of back and forth and I like that

Payload is a game mode. Dustbowl is a single map that gets played too often. It's poorly designed, relative to a lot of the newer offerings, and so I personally find that you hit way too many stalemates compared to, say, Gorge.

2fort is still the worst map in the game by far though.

People should get the Double Cross map, my favorite and is perfect for capture the flag.

and still one of the most played

I just hate the maps with the big spawn rooms. I dun play as often as I should, so alla these new fangled maps are confusing and hard to navigate - especially when you're trapped in a spawn point for a match.

(Note: I wasn't trapped for the whole match, however it is increasingly annoying.)

2Fort is awesome for its simplicity and its repetitive nature. It's one of the most solid maps on the roster.

I'm neutral with 2fort. My only complaint with it is how often it gets played.

I hate ctf_turbine. Too much bullshittery happens there.

cp_gorge, cp_steel and plr_pipeline are probably my favourite maps. It doesn't help that I keep forgetting the name of the other maps I like.

It may be small, simple, and somewhat overplayed, but 2fort is a great place to be a soldier or demoman. Your rocket/sticky jump can land you in places most people ignore, since generally the focus is on the bridge and the inner courtyards. It's also the greatest thing ever to clear out the inevitable Battlement Sniper Nest with one rocket jump, while the Wall O' Snipers can't even get out of their scopes before they realize they're getting slaughtered.

It's also a hoot if you can manage to get a sentry built outside the enemy fort's front door, in the protected corner.

I'll admit though, if your teams are evenly skilled, you can get deadlocked reeeeeeally easy on 2fort and end up in turtleland for hours, especially if the teams have multiple engies.


Man, there's a bunch of the old maps I haven't played in ages. Granary, 2fort, Well, Fastlane... On our next TF2 night, we gotta find a server that's playing something other than Hightower, Turbine and KOTH Sawmill.

Not quite what I'm looking for, sorry.

I should point out that it has the hammer and sickle and I wear an Officer's Ushanka with it, so something Russian might be fitting.

The problem that most people have with it (I think), is that the rounds can be too short and you keep jumping between maps. At least, that's my take on it.

No, I feel that honor falls to Turbine. At least 2fort has some seperate areas. Turbine is just one big area with a looping hallway with the spawn and intel on opposite sides.

It's an official map, so everyone already has it.

And also, YES.

Yes, Yes, Ye...

Wait, what's that last part? Gorge is pretty fun and certainly a good attack/defend map, but Steel is annoying because I swear every time I play it, one team steamrolls the other. Usually whichever team has more players familiar with the map. And PLR's stalemates are aggravating.

Wow, that sounds like a less than ideal server. Also, Granary is a classic.

Metallic Drapeovich?

Bullet Sandvich?

Iron Curtainovich?

From Russia Vit Lead?

On topic: I dunno the maps' names but, I like the map that has a big central room with boxes and is inside a building.

Also, the Pacman custom map is great :P. There's supposed to be a Warioware based map too, and one where someone becomes Saxton Hale (the shop guy) and everyone fights him, those sound like fun.
